:abcd: Menu routes for WordPress JSON REST API.

Menu routes for WordPress JSON REST API

WordPress plugin that extends the JSON REST WP API with new routes pointing to WordPress registered menus. Read the WP API documentation.

New routes available:

• /menus list of every registered menu.
• /menus/<id> data for a specific menu.
• /menu-locations list of all registered theme locations.
• /menu-locations/<location> data for menu in specified menu in theme location.

Currently, the menu-locations/<location> route for individual menus will return a tree with full menu hierarchy, with correct menu item order and listing children for each menu item. The menus/<id> route will output menu details and a flat array of menu items. Item order or if each item has a parent will be indicated in each item attributes, but this route won't output items as a tree.

You can alter the data arrangement of each individual menu items and children using the filter hook json_menus_format_menu_item.

WP API V2

In V1 of the REST API the routes are located by default at wp-json/menus/ etc.

In V2 the routes by default are at wp-json/wp-api-menus/v2/ (e.g. wp-json/wp-api-menus/v2/menus/, etc.) since V2 encourages prefixing and version namespacing.
